Dr. Ambati Srimannarayana and Rama, a couple originally from Guntur, have made a significant donation of ₹10 crore (1 million US dollars) to the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). This generous contribution is intended to support scholarships for talented students and fund medical research.
According to AP7AM, the donated amount will be invested, and the income generated from it will be used to provide scholarships to deserving students. The Ambati couple presented this donation at a ceremony held in Fresno, California.
UCSF Dean Jose M. Barral Sanchez told AP7AM that this donation will greatly benefit research in areas such as rural medicine, ultrasound technology, and family medicine.
Dr. Srimannarayana has been serving at UCSF since 1986. The donors stated that their goal is to serve both India and America.
This act of generosity by a couple from Guntur, now settled in the United States, highlights the philanthropic spirit of the Telugu diaspora. Their contribution supports advancements in education and medical research, ultimately benefiting society globally.
